Marc Cisneros Center for Young Children

The Marc Cisneros Center for Young Children was established in 1941. It meets the needs of 54 children aged three months through five years. Two fenced playgrounds provide a large assortment of play structures and equipment, shade and sun areas, and open play space. Learning centers are provided in each room to stimulate and encourage exploration and discovery. The philosophy that young children learn through creative play is evident in planned activities that enhance the children's emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development.

A highly qualified staff works with the children. The center's close proximity to campus and its high quality program make it especially attractive to university students with children. Parents are encouraged to register their children early since a waiting list quickly forms as the fall semester nears. Parents are welcome to visit at any time.

Your support has a direct and lasting impact on the center, our students and our future. Please support the Marc Cisneros Center for Young Childre as part of Javelina Day of Giving. Your support contributes to our success.
